Serve via containerized Nginx files from php-fpm container? - docker

Question

My app files are located in phpfpm container and I need to serve them through nginx. I want to avoid mounting the same files in two containers, so I'm trying to figure out a way to serve them only from one, phpfpm, container. When I use reverse proxy to other containers:
server {
listen 0.0.0.0:8080;
server_name myapp.test;
location / {
proxy_set_header X-Real-IP $remote_addr;
proxy_set_header HOST $http_host;
proxy_set_header X-NginX-Proxy true;
proxy_pass http://phpfpm:900;
proxy_redirect off;
}
}
I get 502 Bad Gateway error with the following error log record:
1 recv() failed (104: Connection reset by peer) while reading response header from upstream, client: 172.18.0.1, server: myapp.test, request: "GET / HTTP/1.1", upstream: "http://172.18.0.2:9000/", host: "myapp.test"
I guess it's because phpfpm container is not a HTTP server.
So, alternatively, I try using fastcgi_pass like so:
server {
listen 0.0.0.0:8080;
server_name myapp.test;
root /app;
location / {
try_files $uri $uri/index.php;
}
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_pass phpfpm:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
include fastcgi.conf;
}
}
This serves *.php files as expected, but doesn't serve other files, namely static content.
How do I makenginx serve both .php and static files from my phpfpm container?
Here's my docker-compose.yml:
version: "3.7"
services:
phpfpm:
image: "php-fpm:7.3"
volumes:
- ./site:/app
ports:
- "9000:9000"
nginx:
image: "nginx:1.17"
volumes:
- ./nginx/app.conf:/opt/nginx/conf/nginx.conf
ports:
- "80:8080"

You have 2 issues:
You did not mount your static content into your Nginx container, therefore it cannot be served. Add this volume to your container
./site/public/:/var/www/html/public/:ro
You need to setup your Nginx config in order to serve this static content. You may try this one
server {
listen 0.0.0.0:8080;
server_name myapp.test;
root /var/www/html/public;
add_header X-Frame-Options "SAMEORIGIN";
add_header X-XSS-Protection "1; mode=block";
add_header X-Content-Type-Options "nosniff";
index index.html index.htm index.php;
charset utf-8;
location / {
try_files $uri /index.php?$query_string;
}
location = /favicon.ico { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location = /robots.txt { access_log off; log_not_found off; }
location ~ \.php$ {
fastcgi_split_path_info ^(.+\.php)(/.+)$;
fastcgi_pass phpfpm:9000;
fastcgi_index index.php;
fastcgi_param SCRIPT_FILENAME $document_root$fastcgi_script_name;
include fastcgi.conf;
}
}
